2008 King Trappers' Competition
Hello! Welcome to the 61st annual Trappers’ Festival! Once again we will compete for the prestigious King Trapper title, and as defending champion, I welcome all challengers whether they are young or old. I’ll be back… faster, stronger and more strategic. As all competitors know, to be good at this sport, you have to be good at a few things, like trapping and hunting, be in great shape, and buy the best equipment. Most of all, train hard, eat good, and refrain from getting injured. I started competing at a very young age when trapping was still the main source of sustenance for our family. This year will make 25 years of competition for me. On this road of many tales, I’ve met many different kinds of people, all who’ve accepted us into their communities. Without their support and kindness, I couldn’t have been as successful as I’ve been; thanks everyone. Trappers’ Festival is very unique and an experience you’ll never forget… you’ll either have the best time of your life or freeze your butt off, in both cases it’s a lot of fun, so come out and learn the ways of the trapper. You’ll also pick up plenty of ways to survive in the wild. I would like to thank all who’ve made this festival a success each and every year. The volunteers like Wilf and his assistants; without you this festival wouldn’t be as well organized as it is.
Regards
Gerald McKenzie
